To Stay or Leave Your Marriage

The decision to divorce isn't easy. Continuing with the status quo may be tempting. Some people take years to make a move -- some simply live out their lives in an emotionally painful, loveless marriage. Wouldn't it be great for an expert to help you decide?
One especially helpful book, "Too Good to Leave, Too Bad to Stay: A Step-by-StepGuide to Help You Decide Whether to Stay In or Get Out of YourRelationship"  by Mira Kirshenbaum, describes several different unhappy marriages and explains how and why it can be saved or not. 

It's the most logical, insightful book I've read on the subject! 

Although this book was first published in 1997, it's still one of the highest ranking books on Amazon's divorce book scale. The classic marital situations described in the book still resonate in 2016.

Leave the Marriage or Stay

If you are still in the decision-making stage – do I stay or do I go – read Too Good to Leave, Too Bad to Stay by Mira Kirshenbaum. Kirshenbaum takes her readers on an intimate, enlightening tour of their marriages, and offers helpful, sometimes surprising insights into whether it’s healthier to leave or stay.


In the course of my divorce coaching, I've encountered several situations where the potential leaver was paralyzed by indecision. This book might have been an enormous help to them.For me, this book was reassuring. I'd made my decision and divorced. Then I read this, and realized my decision have been the right one.

Mira Kirshenbaum is clinical director of the Chestnut Hill Institute, a center for therapy and research in Boston, and has been treating patients in individual and couples therapy for more than thirty years.
